Namadgi National Park

Namadgi National Park to the south of Canberra, established in 1985, covers an area of 940sq.km, about two-fifths of the Australian Capital Territory. It includes expanses of alpine and sub-alpine wilderness, as well as areas in which the original bush vegetation is being allowed to recover, while paths for walkers, camping sites and picnic areas are to be created. Here too can be seen some remains of Aboriginal culture, particularly at Yankee Hat and Rendezvous Creek (stone settings, rock paintings, hunting grounds), and evidence of European settlement from 1830 onwards.

Namadgi National Park joins up with Alpine National Park in Victoria and Kosciusko National Park in New South Wales.

The park also offers visitors a chances for hiking, biking, fishing, and horseback riding.
